Copy Presentation Details to new PlaceHolder programmatically Sitecore 7.2

currently I am working on a page that generates a print view of a specific item. So this means I dont need all the stuff from my MainLayout like Navigation etc.

For this reason I have created a new Layout that only has a placeholder. Lets call this PrintLayout.aspx:

<sc:placeholder ID="PlPrint" runat="server" key="phPrintOutput"></sc:placeholder>

In the code behind I have a method that fetches the renderings from the item, but I am stuck at the point where I want to copy them to my phPrintOutput Placeholder on the fly:

public void AddPresentationDetailsToPlaceHolder(Item item)
{
  List<RenderingReference> renderings = item.Visualization.GetRenderings(Sitecore.Context.Device, false).ToList();
  foreach(RenderingReference r in renderings)
  {
    // How can I apply the renderings on the fly to my phPrintOutput Placeholder??
  }
}

Of course it is very important that every sublayout keeps it current datasource. Any help would be appreciated, thank you all

You only require to add the control to the placeholder. To do so, please see the code below:

public void AddPresentationDetailsToPlaceHolder(Item item)
{
  List<RenderingReference> renderings = item.Visualization.GetRenderings(Sitecore.Context.Device, false).ToList();
  foreach(RenderingReference r in renderings)
  {
      if(r.RenderingID == new ID("Rendering Id you want to be displayed on layout"))
      {
          this.PlPrint.Controls.Add(r.GetControl());
      } 
  }
}

This will automatically add the rendering to the layout.
